Almost to the extent of the core four boys, Chef was an integral element of South Park‘s first few seasons. He was there to support the boys in their endeavors, educate them about things they probably shouldn’t know about at their age, and sing life lessons that, far more often than not, just strayed off into a fantasy about making love to a woman he barely knows. It will always be sad that Isaac Hayes’ time with South Park ended in such a bitter way. This is especially true given how it’s arguable that it was even Hayes himself who quit the show as opposed to just being pulled out of it by a third party (via The Hollywood Reporter).

But, with nine seasons under his belt (not included his role in Season 10’s debut episode, which re-used old vocal clips from Hayes), Hayes was nonetheless a long-term member of the South Park family. And, throughout those nine years, particularly towards the beginning, he gifted the fans with quite a few great songs that only he could have done.

“I’m Gonna Make Love to You, Woman” is Chef’s most iconic song for a few reasons. One, it was first. Two, other versions of it popped up down the line. And, frankly, the other versions of it that popped up down the line were more elaborate and funnier. But respect must be shown to the song that established Chef’s particular brand of guidance. One of the things early in South Park‘s run that helped firmly ingrain it in the pop-culture world was Chef’s sing-songy mentorship, and this is the song that started it all. Plus, let’s be honest, there’s something inherently hilarious about a grown man working in a public school singing to children about his sex life…as long as it’s in a cartoon.
